Hello! I just want to say that if you blog is for LEARNING, you have to pay more attention on how you write. In this case, Africa is not a "developing country". Africa is a CONTINENT formed of numerous countries, each one with their own levels of development and particular problems. These generalisations have generated a misguided view of "Africa" and "Africans"Best,Erika from Mexico
